Can I View the Vehicle History Report?

We understand the importance of transparency when shopping for a pre-owned vehicle. That’s why we offer a complimentary vehicle history report so you can get an accurate picture of your vehicle’s history. In addition to the vehicle ownership history, the report will indicate whether the vehicle has been damaged or involved in an accident. It also includes service and maintenance records along with any open recalls to help you make an informed decision when purchasing your next vehicle.

What About Smog/Emissions/Safety Inspections?

No matter where you’re coming from, we make it easy to ensure your new vehicle meets your home state’s requirements. Our experienced team is well-versed in handling emissions, smog, and safety inspections for out-of-state buyers. Every new vehicle we sell meets local safety and emissions standards. And we’ll help you understand whether additional inspections are needed once you register your vehicle in your home state.

How Is My Car Purchase Taxed During Out-of-State Buying?

How your car purchase is taxed will depend on your state but by purchasing your car in Indiana, you can enjoy unique tax benefits. For example, drivers in Illinois looking to get a better deal on their trade-in may want to visit our dealership since the new Illinois trade-in tax law went into effect January of 2020.
